Hi, I have code an magic TV with MagicMirror app (v2. 13, never update it!) for my company.
It display some information (read directly from database,) and slide show photos, internal document.
It’s just an rpi3B+ used in local (for technician hall) with an 27’ screen computer and remotely (server mode for hall of the company) with a 100’ smart tv
Works fine since ~2y now

Can you try this?

best way is using RSS

like this

Really, in photo it’s fine

But… in reality:

• Price wow… too expensive (screen only 13.3 inch)
• Very outdated sources of MagicMirror! (use node v10 !? … we have to use node >= v18)
• wiki outdated
• Snowboy website is closed since Mar. 18th, 2020
• Assistant will never works (pubnub website close assistant query)
• This website can’t sell a product with Assistant SDK Project

This Chinese product scares me!
If the hardware is bad: it would be theft :/

I have done, for my kitchen, the same (and functional) for ~200€ with 24 inch screen and pi5 !

MMM-Glassy

This module allows to add a glass effect to MagicMirror² modules

Screenshot

Informations

Just checkout MMM-Glassy GitHub repository

nop it’s not possible

read api doc

The API key is managed from the admin panel
It is given so that the user has access to it for external use

I don’t think that Veeck and @karsten13 will send it ;)

That why best way is using recent only by rss

my first js approach:

let Parser = require('rss-parser');
let parser = new Parser();
let rss = "https://forum.magicmirror.builders/recent.rss";

(async () => {

  let feed = await parser.parseURL(rss);

  feed.items.forEach(item => {
    console.log(item.title + ' --> ' + item.link)
  });

})();

Result:

@sdetweil the problem is not there…
The problem is you can’t play a file when it’s not fully created!

2 solutions:
Make a promise
Or play the file when the file is created

@cowboysdude : you have set an error when you have created the repository …
why WWW-WOTD ?
in your module, you have Set MMM-WOTD

So that why @lxne have an issue (nodule not found)

And an error on the getDom function

    getDom: function() {
      var wrapper = document.createElement("div");

      if(this.loaded == true){
        var wotd = this.wotd[0]; 
        var wordTable = document.createElement('div');
        
        if (this.config.style == 'narrow') {
            wordTable.classList.add('narrow');
        } else {
            wordTable.classList.add('wide');
        }
        
        var wordTR = document.createElement('tr');
        
        var word = document.createElement('td');
        word.classList.add('bright', 'small');
        word.setAttribute('style', 'background:' + this.config.wbackground);
        word.innerHTML = "Word  ";
        wordTR.appendChild(word);
        
        
        var word2 = document.createElement('td');
        word2.classList.add('small');
        word2.setAttribute("style", "color:" + this.config.word + "; background-color: " + this.config.dbackground + ";"); 
        word2.innerHTML = wotd.word;
        wordTR.appendChild(word2);
        
        wordTable.appendChild(wordTR);
        
        var wordTR2 = document.createElement('tr');
        
        var wordd = document.createElement('td');
        wordd.classList.add('bright', 'small');
        wordd.setAttribute('style', 'background:' + this.config.wbackground);
        wordd.innerHTML = "Meaning  ";
        wordTR2.appendChild(wordd);
        
        
        var wordd2 = document.createElement('td');
        wordd2.classList.add('small');
        wordd2.setAttribute('style', 'color:' + this.config.definition + '; background-color: ' + this.config.dbackground + ';');
        wordd2.innerHTML = wotd.definition;
        wordTR2.appendChild(wordd2);
        
        wordTable.appendChild(wordTR2);
        
        var wordTR3 = document.createElement('tr');
        
        var wordf = document.createElement('td');
        wordf.classList.add('bright', 'small');
        wordf.setAttribute('style', 'background:' + this.config.wbackground);
        wordf.innerHTML = "Say  ";
        wordTR3.appendChild(wordf);
        
        
        var wordf2 = document.createElement('td');
        wordf2.setAttribute('style', 'color:' + this.config.say + '; background-color: ' + this.config.dbackground + ';');
        wordf2.classList.add('small');
        wordf2.innerHTML = wotd.pronunciation;
        wordTR3.appendChild(wordf2);
        
        wordTable.appendChild(wordTR3);
        wrapper.appendChild(wordTable);
      }
      return wrapper;
    },

• wow … tr/td tag like win95 ???, i think, you can do better !
• I have corrected your error… you have not created the Dom on first request
• package.json missing ! (if an user do npm install … it will install MagicMirror !)

@lxne: for a temp resolve, just rename WWW-WOTD in modules directory to MMM-WOTD

@cowboysdude

I’m using someone else’s PIR module [Name cannot mention he gets mad]

😂

but … who is this guy !? :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:
an anonymous maybe ! :face_with_tears_of_joy:
